Pictures pictures pictures

 

Here the little sidewinder is, sorry for the picture quality. The twin is on the way. For three hundred bucks, and the lifetime Davidson's warranty,
this is the wannabe a Cowboy's Dream Deal !! Eleven left at Palmetto state Armory . I predict they will be gone in 3 days tops.

 

Well, they have 2 less now.

 

They do scream to be a twin, don't they ?

 

these are beautiful guns , if i didnt already have a pair of ubertis and a pair of colts id look to buy them , oh and i believe the quality is there as well

 

That looks so nice I may have to make room in the safe.

 

Like showing a snow cone to a Bedouin ! They couldnt resist such an enticing opportunity 😵‍💫

 

FWIW my pair of ubertis are full sized SAA actions in 22lr and they are very accurate , wranglers wont outshoot they nor will they outwear them - these are the quality of a single six , they are not the same model as these clemintines but pretty close , i just bought them with birdshead grips , .................hey maybe i just stumbled onto the justification i was looking for to buy a pair ....hmmmm

 

I have th full size Ubertis in my safe, they are quality , the fit and finish is a wee bit better than the Pietta Clementines, but not much. I have the 7.5 barreled six shot Uberti Cattleman. Side by side with the 7.5 inch single action Colt, it was a twin in every way, as far as fit and finish, of course the caliber was different. The only difference to the eye was the missing small horse on the frame. You can change the Uberti springs to Wolffe , and boy, they are slick ! Super smooth, mechanical perfection in a design over a hundred and fifty years old. I certainly like the brass, steel, and walnut of the Pietta, classic look. The hammer spur on the Uberti adds visual, authentic appeal. Both are easy to load and empty, with indexing cylinders. I like my Rugers, but miss that cylinder indexing feature that the Pietta and Ubertis have. I simply like the single action revolvers for the look and fun factor. Shooting them is not expensive, no issues with ammo like some semi automatics, and simple to operate. Happy Shooting !

 

im convinced that both the ubertis and the piettas are both of equal value - i own both , not in 22s but in centerfire pistol caliber and in revolvers as well as rifles , i run them as hard as my rugers and they have served well for over 20 years of hard use , i know should but i seldom distinguish between these two , both make great firearms ,

i just bought two more in 44

 

For those who have one of these, is the action similar to a Colt or a three screw Ruger with four clicks and correct loading indexing, or a transfer bar abomination like the new model Rugers?

 

These have the indexing cylinder for loading and ejection. However, they are abominations with the transfer bar. The Uberti Cattleman does not have a transfer bar, but the new system has three clicks. You can order the four click parts from Taylor's, but they won't install them for you. The Uberti Stallion has the four clicks and indexing cylinder, but no hammer mounted firing pin. You can get the four clicks with the Heritage, but no hammer firing pin, they have a transfer bar, and that awful safety . Heritage also indexes. I still cannot figure out why Ruger does not have the cylinder indexing.
About every other maker does. Some people defend the Ruger, saying it ain't that hard to learn, loading and unloading, but you should not have to , when you get a six hundred dollar .22 revolver. If Heritage can do it at 119.00 bucks, Ruger has no excuse. That is my opinion, yours may vary.

 

The New Vaquero will index correctly, which is a big improvement, but the spring- loaded plunger Ruger added makes the cylinder hard to rotate, while holding the gun in your left hand to spin the cylinder with just your left index finger as your right hand works the plunger.

 

i have no issue operating my cylinder and holding the RNMV with one hand and ejector with the other at unloading table - it took a little getting used to when i first got them but i caught on quick ,

 

those look fantastic ,

 

huh , whats with the dark grip scales and the light , did you lighten ? ive only seen the darker so far ,

 

There was an overhead light on, see, the background has two different colors, it is because of the way the light is playing out , no tricks, just amateur photography on a cell phone. The lighter looking grip is a little lighter in reality, the darker one in the picture is not as dark as the picture shows it to be. I mentioned there was a light play in the mix to start with. What is a grip scale ? I’m going to try to find the .357 to match.

 

These things are heavier than the .45 model. I found the matching .45 and .357 at Cimarron’s website. Got to get the .357 on the way………..G.A.S. ARE KILLIN’ ME! I better wait a little while……… I’m already workin’ on my Christmas Gifts for the year 2057.

 

ok , i get the lighting aspect . ive had issues with that over the years as well , so in reality they are close to the same color right ? most all of mine - quite a few , are very close to the same color

 

Yep, they are closer than the picture shows. I always use my cell phone camera even though I have a pretty decent covey of cameras. I barely have time to shoot, so easy camera is the choice. Pictures are not always accurate with my cell phone. It does seem to me that the Pietta grips are darker than my Uberti grips. I have twice as many Uberti revolvers as Pietta. The workmanship on these Pietta revolvers is top notch.

 

interesting , the grip scales on all my ubertis and piettas have been fairlky consistant in most all the guns ive bought till the recent pair of uberti 1858s - i realize these are not 22s but only talking the scales here , this pair - non-consecutive are the darkest ive ever seen - they look like the dark one in your photo , but at least they are both dark

 

I think these Pietta Clementines have been stained much darker than my other Piettas. One of the other two Piettas I have is from Cabelas. They closed them out Cheep ! The other non- Clementine is from Cimarron. The stocks are lighter on them. I purchased magnum cylinders, for the Cabela’s & the Cimarron. They are available from EMF ( Early & Modern Firearms) online. I have been able to find the Uberti parts from Taylor’s , and the Pietta parts from EMF. If you need repairs for the Pietta pistols from a really great gunsmith and an honest man, John at EMF is the source. Cimarron does not do their repairs in house, Uberti, and Taylor’s does. I got great service from Uberti and Taylor’s. EMF does honor their warranty, they had to replace a Cimarron.22 for me. Clementine Piettas have the Davidson Lifetime Warranty. All they ask for is a copy of the original receipt.

 

good to know your satisfied with the service you have gotten , it lmirrors my experiences with all of the above

my most recent buy was taylors for two remington/uberti 1858s with conversion cylinders to 45 colt , the results are very leasing ,

 

Light is very important in photography. Try placing something dark behind your pistols and see if that doesn’t help. Just out of direct sunlight works as does placing them under overhead kitchen lights. But bright backgrounds are a bit harder for the sensor to deal with……similar to taking a photo of a person standing in front of a bright window. It does’t work well. If one grip is reflecting much more light it will be brighter, the color likely different….move the light source or rearrange the pistols to even out the light on them.

 

Pretty, if I did not already have one of the Ruger single six centinneal models, with both cylinders I might go for that one.
